Subreddit Rules
- No LLM-Written Content: If you don't want to write it, we don't want to read it. This includes the use of LLMs for translation or summarisation. Moderators reserve discretion in ambiguous cases.
- AI-related posts must comply with the AI Policy: Content about LLMs and AI is generally considered off-topic unless they are *deeply technical*. Refer to our [wiki](/r/programming/wiki/ai-policy/) for more details.
- No Political Posts or Personal/Social Drama/Gossip: r/programming is not a place to share content with a primary focus on politics, personal drama, social gossip, or such.
- Examples of inappropriate topics would include: Please vote for net neutrality. Big Tech is being sued in Europe for blahdeblah. Grace Hopper Conference is now 60% male. Postgres is turning the freaking frogs gay. Linus Torvalds was a poopy-head on a mailing list. The People's Rust Foundation is arguing with the Rust Foundation For The People.
- No Non-Programming/Generic LLM/Diffusion Content: r/programming is not a place to share AI content that has nothing to do with programming or is overly generic.
- Examples of inappropriate topics would include: Claude spent all my money at Vegas. Sam Altman created a bot that's gonna replace yer mum. Roiters in Barcelona were pacified by a soliloquy written by an AI.
- No Product Promotion/"I Made This" Project Demo Posts: r/programming is not the place to post a project to get feedback, ask for help, or otherwise promote it.
- Technical write-ups on what makes a project technically challenging, interesting, or educational are allowed and encouraged, but just a link to a GitHub page or a list of features is not.
- The technical write-up must be the focus of the post, not just a tickbox-checking exercise to get us to allow it. This is a technical subreddit.
- We don't care what you built, we care how you build it.
- No Content Aggregators
- newsletters, listicles, or anything similar that aggregates content. If you found 15 open source projects that will blow my mind, post those 15 projects instead and we'll be the judge of that.
- No Surveys Or Job Postings: If it seeks to extract value from the sub without contributing anything, it isn't welcome. Check out /r/samplesize as an alternative place to submit surveys.
- Exceptions are made for high quality surveys hosted by established members of the software development community (really just the annual SO Developer Survey).
- No Support Questions or AskReddit-Type Questions: /r/programming is not a support forum. If you have a question, check out /r/learnprogramming, /r/cscareerquestions, or [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/).
- Similarly, if you'd see it on a programming-focused version of AskReddit, it doesn't belong here. Examples of inappropriate topics would include: What's your favourite programming language? Tabs or spaces? Does anyone else hate it when your CSS gets in your ASM and you recursion all over your Senior Developer?
- No Meta Posts: Examples of inappropriate topics would include: DAE think r/programming sucks? DAE think r/programming rocks? Why did you remove my post? Why did you ban this user that is totes not me I swear I'm just asking questions.
- No Images, Memes, Or Other Low Effort Posts: There's better subs for them, and if we allowed them they'd just flood the sub.
- No Blogspam: Don't post actual blogspam: blogposts that do nothing more than linking to a primary source.
- We may leave these up if they are the first post to get traction about a news event and they're the best discussion going on about the news event.
- No Extreme Beginner Content: Examples of inappropriate topics would include: What is a variable. What is a for loop. Making an HTTP request using curl. We may leave these up if they've generated a lot of healthy discussion.
- Bots: Actual humans only, please and thank you.
- Incivility: If you're unable to say something without calling someone names, don't say it at all.
